When importing goods from China, VAT and customs duties must be paid. In order to legally introduce goods from China for sale in the European Union, the trader is required to carry out customs clearance.  <\/p>\n

At customs clearance<\/a> VAT and customs duty will be charged. Once these two duties have been paid, the goods will be able to be released and further marketed. <\/p>\n

VAT on imports from China <\/h2>\n

Import VAT is calculated from the customs value of the goods, customs duty and sometimes excise duty if applicable. As for VAT rates, they can be 5 % , 8 % or 23 %. For most goods imported from China, the VAT rate is 23 % and this is the most common rate. It is quite rare to find the other rates, and it is worth noting that they apply to specific product groups. <\/p>\n

After customs clearance, we receive an SAD and a PZC customs document. When importing, it is always advisable to use the help of a customs agency, which will properly direct the settlement of our import. When the goods arrive in Poland, it is best to contact the customs agency, which will require from us an invoice for transport containing the terms of delivery, an invoice for the goods, packing lists and, if necessary for some products, a CE certificate, declaration of conformity or other necessary documents. Customs agency declares goods for clearance<\/a> Once all the documents have been completed and in the next step, we receive a post-clearance communication and the calculated amounts of VAT and customs duty that we have to pay. It is often the case that the customs duty, i.e. VAT and customs duty, is paid directly to the customs agency, which settles the duties and pays them to the customs office. At a later stage, when accounting for the import of goods, the invoice for the purchase of the goods and precisely the customs document SAD, which we received after customs clearance, must be forwarded to the accounting department that handles the company.<\/p>\n
